Abolish MSP premiums in BC
Abolish MSP premiums in BC
Why this petition matters
British Columbia stands alone -- the only Canadian province to charge head-tax-like premiums for health care coverage.
It seems clear that B.C. should follow the lead of other provinces in eliminating its flat-rate MSP premiums!
Since MSP premiums are a form of tax, they should be assessed by the standard criteria for taxation policy.
Given that 90 per cent of public health care costs already come from general revenues, B.C. has ample precedent for replacing its head tax with broader sources, and not becoming a Canadian outlier.
It is time for British Columbia to follow the rest of the country and Abolish the MSP Premiums!!
